As the MOOC craze continues to explode, anyone interested in taking an online course faces a tricky question: Which course to take? Here are five aspects that you should consider before you start.
(1)What is your learning style?
Many MOOCs are video-based. Other courses use presentation formats. Some also require participation in group work. If you want to stay motivated during your course, think about how you enjoy learning.
Are you a visual learner, preferring to use images to understand a topic? If so, a video-based course will work well for you. If you are a verbal learner who gains new information by speaking and writing, try a text-based course with lots of note-taking. Social learners, meanwhile, will thrive in forum discussions and project-based assessment.
(2)Are you ready to become a full-time student?
Be realistic about the time that you can commit to your online studies. Participating in an online course can take as much time and commitment as a class-based program. Check the course requirements and make a plan around your current schedule.
(3) Does the course really meet your needs?
Whether you are interested in a professional qualification or want to take a personal development course like yoga, there is a MOOC for you. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of taking lots of free courses in everything that you ever wanted to learn. Before you start a course, think about the end goal. Is the course aimed at beginners or advanced learners? Why do you need this qualification?
(4) Do you need a support group?
Some people learn best from seeing how others approach the problem. If you are such as learner, you will need to supplement your online lessons with an in-person support group.
(5) What kind of certification will you get?
Take time to find out what kind of certification is available upon completion of the course, and how you can prove your learning to others - for example, certificates, transcripts or digital badges.
1. What kind of MOOC's does the author recommend to verbal learners?
A. A video-based course.
B. A text-based course.
C. A forum-based discussion.
D. A project-based assessment.
2. What kind of learners need an in-person support group?
A. Learners who prefer individual work.
B. Learners who are in great need of a certificate.
C. Learners who are too busy to become a full-time student.
D. Learners who learn best from observing how others address the problem.

When 36-year-old J Andy Duran decided to return to his favorite high school hobby—skateboarding, the only trouble he expected to have was his own ability to get back on the skateboard after such a long time. However, the 340-pound skateboarder soon realizedthatwas the least of his problems.
Duran's problems began before he even stepped on a skateboard. He couldn't find anything for fat skaters. What Duran did find was a belief that plus-size people should not be skating. Determined to do something to change the image(形象) of plus-size people in sports, Duran set up Chub Rollz—a skating and skateboarding community for overweight skaters. He knew that not only did he need to get back into it to prove people wrong, but he needed to create a safe space where others can haverepresentation as well.
To encourage plus-size people to take part in the fun sport, Duran created a list of recommended products for fat skaters. He also hosted roller skating and skateboarding classes to teach beginners.
After an article about his thoughts in the San Francisco Chronicle, Duran received lots of messages from strangers thanking him for giving them the courage to take up skateboarding. He has also been contacted by some skateboarding brands offering to create larger clothing sizes and beenoffered free equipment by skating organizations like "Skate Like a Giri ".
Though encouraged, Duran believes a lot more needs to be done to remove body image stereotypes(刻板印象).“I want to see more changes in communities. Maybe skate shops create a more welcoming environment for all types of skaters. Or boards are made in a variety of strengths and sizes—everyone is making thinner, lighter products, but sometimes we need those heavy-duty choices to stay available," he explains.
For those hesitant of taking up their desired activity due to their body size, Duran has this to say:“Be kind to
yourself. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean you can't be it.”
4. What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The skateboard.
B. His hobby.
C. His ability.
D. The time.
5. Why did Duran found Chub Rollz?
A. To realize his childhood dream.
B. To help plus-size people lose weight.
C. To fight for the equal right for fat people.
D. To change people's impression of the fat in sports.
6. Which word can best describe Duran?
A. Generous.
B. Inspiring.
C. Adaptable.
D. Talented.
7. Which is most likely Duran's belief?
A. Everyone has a gift for sports.
B.No one is too fat to enjoy sports.
C. Fat people do deserve social concern.
D. Skateboarding is most suitable for fat people.
C
Elizabeth Spelke, a cognitive psychologist at Harvard, has spent her career testing the world’s most complex learning system-the mind of a baby. Babies might seem like no match for artificial intelligence (AI). They are terrible at labeling images, hopeless at mining text, and awful at video games. Then again, babies can do things beyond the reach of any AI. By just a few months old, they’ve begun to grasp the foundations of language, such as grammar. They’ve started to understand how to adapt to unfamiliar situations.
Yet even experts like Spelke don’t understand precisely how babies or adults learn. Consider one of the most impressive examples of AI, Alpha Zero, a programme that plays board games with superhuman skill. After playing thousands of games against itself at a super speed, and learning from winning positions, Alpha Zero independently discovered several famous chess strategies and even invented new ones. It certainly seems like a machineeclipsinghuman cognitive abilities. But Alpha Zero needs to play millions more games than a person during practice to learn a game. Most importantly, it cannot take what it has learned from the game and apply it to another area.
To some AI experts, that calls for a new approach. In a November research paper, Francois Chollet, a well-known AI engineer, argued that it’s misguided to measure machine intelligence just according to its skills at specific tasks. “Humans don’t start out with skills; they start out with a broad ability to acquire new skills,” he says. “What a strong human chess player is demonstrating is not only the ability to play chess, but the potential to fulfill any task of a similar difficulty.”
8. Compared to an advanced AI programme, a baby might be better at ________.
A playing games B. identifying locations C. labeling pictures D. making adjustments
9. What does the underlined word “eclipsing” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Imitating.
B. Beating.
C. Limiting.
D. Promoting.
10. According to the text, Francois Chollet may agree that ________.
A. AI is good at completing certain assignments.
B. AI is likely to gain abilities with less training.
C. AI lacks the ability of acquiring specific skills.
D. AI performs better than humans in cognitive ability.
11. Whichwould be the best title for this passage?
A. What is exactly intelligence?
B. Why is modern AI advanced?
C. Where is human intelligence going?
D. How do humans face the challenge of AI?
D
A 25-year-old American with a university degree can expect to livea decade longer than a peer who dropped out of high school. Although researchers have long known that the rich live longer than the poor, this education gap is less well documented. And although the average American’s expected span(预期寿命) has been smooth in recent year—and, shockingly, even fell between 2015 and 2017—that of the one-third with a bachelor’s degree has continued to lengthen.
This gap in life expectancy is growing, according to new research published in the report of the National Academy of Sciences. Anne Case and Angus Deation ofPrincetonUniversityfound that the lifespans of those with and without a bachelor’s degree started to become different in the 1990s and 2000s. This gap grew even wider in the 2010s.
What is the link between schooling and longevity(长寿)? Some argue that better-educated people develop healthier lifestyles: each additional year of study reduces the chances of being a smoker and of being overweight.
The better-educated earn more, which in turn is associated with greaterhealth.
Ms Case and Mr Deaton argue that changes in labor markets, including the rise of automation and increased demand for highly-educated workers, coupled with the rising costs of employer-provided health care, have decreased the supply of well-paid jobs for those without a degree. This may be contributing to higher rates of alcohol and drug use, suicide and other “deaths of despair”.
The authors argued that the educational gap in mortality(致死率) will widenin the wake ofthe covid-19 pandemic. ForAmerica’s overall life expectancy to start climbing again, improvements will be needed across all social groups, not just among the privileged few.
12. When did the lifespans of people with and without a degree vary greatly?
A. In the 1990s.
B. In the 2020s
C. In the 2000s
D. In the 2010s
13. According to the article, changes in labor markets reduce jobs for those without a degree. Which change is NOT included?
A. The rising spending of employer-provided health care.
B. The gap in life expectancy.
C. Raised request for better-educated workers.
D. The development of automation.
14. What does the underlined phrase “in the wake of” probably mean ?
A. after
B. until
C. before
D. while
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Changes in labor market.
B. Quit bad habits by Further study
C. Educated Americans live longer.
D. Highly-educated people develop healthier lifestyles.
